Hands-on Training Workshop on Foldscope and Its Applications- #Indiafoldscopephase 1

We found green colour mold infestation in stored tamarind seeds. Small amount of scrap was taken using forceps and slide was prepared. Mycelial hyphae and spores pictures were taken using foldscope.

Green mold under foldscope-#Indiafoldscopephase 1

In garden of Jyothy Institute of Technology, Bangalore, almost all mango trees got infected with a disease called black band disease.

 Fig: Spores and Mycelia of infected pathogen under foldscope


 Fungal pathogen
 
 Peziotrichum corticolum
 
 causes black band disease of mango and is becoming severe for the last three to four years in all the mango growing regions.
 
 The pathogen grows superficially on the bark of trees forming large, dark black, irregular, girdle-like infection patches.
 
 
 Peziotrichum
 
 
 produces septate brown mycelium composed of numerous scattered, erect, vertical aggregations of hyphae closely clustered together and the conidia were single-celled, pale brown, globose, smooth-walled.
